Geesh. ;p BTW, it used to be that "blended" meant "1% milk" at SF Bay Area Starbucks, but once you hit Ventura/L.A./O.C./San Diego, "blended" meant "Frappuccino". One segment of the state wasn't following Starbucks Vocabulary Policy - but I can't remember which part of the state! Oh well. Ventis all around!

When I was doing the online dating thing, I put in my profile that I wanted to date someone who said "small" and not "tall." So much less confusing!
